In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Is he injured again?
Sell him for 70m.
BBC quoting the Daily Mail, didn't think Leicester would be that stupid
Was intrigued until I clicked the link and saw it was the BBC Sports transfer gossip page, masquerading as legitimate news in a tweet.
Gossip column where they round up all the shit talk from every crap website. Absolute nothing story.
Can they afford his wages? I'd imagine he'd have to take a cut to go there. Can't see it happening (though I kind of wish it was)
If they sell Chilwell, probably to City.
I'd let him go if a silly offer came in, but we should be focusing elsewhere.

yeh. take him.
Young and Shaw gone would leave us very light again. We need to bring in players before we sell everyone. I guess we can trust our academy to bail us out since we are so poor in the market.
We're not that lucky
Don't mind selling him but we should rip them off like they did us with Maguire. 40mil minimum
I like Shaw but it would be excellent squad management if we could get something decent for him and convert it into a more reliable player.
Is City going to spend a few more billions on fullbacks?
No point holding a grudge if its in our interest to sell.
Some average player were paid 20 mil this summer. I don't know why we shouldn't try to get 30-40 mil
Buy new fullbacks every time you don’t win the league, or even if you do seems to be their mantra.
They are secure centrally with Stones and Otamendi so fullbacks it is for them!
It’s Kind of difficult to Move clubs when he’s Injured
Do you think Leicester would laugh if we asked for £60 million.
40m and Maddison plus add ons on the other hand

I bet if he went there the injuries would stop and he'd become the player we all thought he would. We seem cursed on the injury front, I think it's something internally wrong at the club, it can't be luck surely.
Defended him in the past and thought it was circumstances outside of control affecting his game but watching him get surpassed by williams makes it hard to defend him anymore.
Fast food business in Manchester will fecking chip in for him to stay, worry not.
Seeing a left back actually able to get up and down the pitch with ease, without looking like they need an oxygen mask at FT, has really made Shaw look bad.
It's worked out well for them. Pep understands the importance of the position in the modern game.
You’d be mad to let him go right now, Williams is coming in nicely but he can’t shoulder the whole thing. If young went as well that would only leave Dalot and Laird as back ups which isn’t enough
Why not just swap him and cash for Chilwell?
That's the good thing about this season. There is no excuses left for some of these guys, even guys we like and hoped would improve. Hopefully we can move on to better things now.
Where could Chilwell be off to? Surely City aren't spending loads on him when they desperately need a centre back and have repeatedly said they're not buying anyone.
.. Because Chilwell isn't coming to us?
If someone is willing to pay actual money for him given his salary level we should take the money and run.
Why put Williams back when he's looked fantastic, let the lad play he's a fantastic talent.
Straight swap with Ndidi or Maddison
If that is true and Young leaves as in January we should go for Meunier and Kurzawa for free in summer.
1. If Pep is tired of Mendy being hurt, Chillwell is a direct replacement for City in terms of an attacking left-back who can whip in a cross and is there for offense and not for defense or possession play (which I guess is Zinchenko)
2. Could be Leicester buying Chillwell's replacement now and having them both for a year then Chillwell goes in 2021, or Chilwell going now. Chelsea could also use an LB and should have money to spend after the ban. Or maybe a foreign team has seen Trippier do well at Atletico and would spend big. PSG would make sense even with Bernat doing well
3. If Leicester think Shaw's value is at it's nadir, why not spend on him now, even if Chillwell situation is unclear. If we'll sell him for 15M and Leicester think he's a 25-30M player his England periphery suggests...
Cant believe a nothing gossip column story has generated so much discussion.
Shaw hasn’t been the most consistent performer for us since his leg break but I still reckon there’s a player in there and I think for the time being it benefits us and Williams having them both competing for that spot.
Luke Shaw is not a bad player and selling him this year would just leave us with more shopping to do. Keep him and let him and Williams battle it out over the LB slot.

They have to pay us money for us to sign Chilwell. Chilwell has a terrible season
It would be a good deal for both parts. Except it probably means Chilwell would go to City or Spurs
I believe Shaw is on around 150k a week?
Considering Vardy is their highest paid player (reported around 120k) so I can only see this happening if we pay half of his wages or giving him away on a free
